We define scattering data for the relativistic Newton equation in an electric field $-\nabla V\in C^1(\R^n,\R^n)$, $n\ge 2$, and in a magnetic field $B\in C^1(\R^n,A_n(\R))$ that decay at infinity like $r^{-\alpha-1}$ for some $\alpha\in (0,1]$, where $A_n(\R)$ is the space of $n\times n$ antisymmetric matrices. We provide estimates on the scattering solutions and on the scattering data and we prove, in particular, that the scattering data at high energies uniquely determine the short range part of $(\nabla V,B)$ up to the knowledge of the long range tail of $(\nabla V,B)$. The Born approximation at fixed energy of the scattering data is also considered. We then change the definition of the scattering data to study their behavior in other asymptotic regimes. This work generalizes [Jollivet, 2007] where a short range electromagnetic field was considered.
